Latest Steam announcements

  • Narrative Content Update Now Live! - 1.10 - 23 May 2020

    Hello everyone! Thanks so much for your continued support and feedback! A quick reminder that our Discord is now live: https://discord.gg/EUHX9SD It's booming! This patch adds some content to aid in the narrative, and improve upon the ending. In addition, the game now has Achievements! The following fixes and changes have also been included: Resolution scaling options. VSync option. ESC can now be used to leave the menu. Additional fixes to remove motion blur effect have been added. Left Controller Stick has been enabled to allow for variable walking speed when using Steam's Controller Configurations. There are now tooltips for most of the settings. Once again, we're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking your feedback and suggestions all under consideration!

  • Y-Axis Inversion Patch Now Live! - 1.07 - 21 April 2020

    Hello everybody! Thanks for all your support and feedback! A quick reminder that our Discord is now live: https://discord.gg/EUHX9SD This patch introduces Y-Axis Inversion, once you get into the game just open up the menu with ESC and the toggle should be under the Options. The following fixes and changes have also been included: There were numerous ways to permanently crouch, which could break progression. These should all be fixed. The cryo door can no longer be clipped through. Some clipping on a few environment objects have been cleaned up. Something's changed with the cryotubes. And is now more in line with the backstory. The biggest bugs have now been handled, and we're working on cleaning up the rest and continuing to polish things as we find them. We also have some ideas for a few content updates in the near future, so keep an eye out for that! Once again, we're watching reviews…

  • Performance Patch Now Live! - 1.06 - 15 April 2020

    Hello all! Thanks once again for all the support! A quick reminder that our Discord is now live: https://discord.gg/EUHX9SD This patch has a handful of performance enhancements mostly related to the loading between loops. In addition, the following fixes have occured (Note: They're all a little spoilery): 1. Some polaroids were appearing on the board out of order. 2. Dying over and over again now acts appropriately, and doesn't make the game bug out. 3. Dying in some repeating sections would cause all but the first two repeating rooms to contain the clue. 4. A bunch of unused maps and files have been cleaned out, resulting in some minor performance improvements and less hard drive space in use. Once again, we're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking your feedback and suggestions all under consideration! We've got a decent backlog of bugs and small features in the…

  • Discord is Live!! - 10 April 2020

    Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for your support, questions, feedback, and theories. In addition to the Discussion Boards we wanted to give another place for fans and supporters to mingle and muster. Here's the link and we look forward to chatting with you all! https://discord.gg/EUHX9SD XO, Dead Thread Games

  • Minor patch has just gone live! - 1.05 - 10 April 2020

    Hello again! Thank you all once again for the support! This is another smaller patch, the following changes have occured: 1. More sound tweaks, and a few additions to help guide players at times. 2. The puzzle has been slightly altered to help some players, though most players will not notice much of a change. 3. A visual bug with one of the pins has been fixed. Once again, we're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking your feedback and suggestions all under consideration! We're going to have a heavier focus on bugs in the upcoming patches, as well as additional content updates. Keep an eye out!

  • Audio Overhaul patch has just gone live! - 1.04 - 8 April 2020

    Hello yet again! Thanks again for all your support, it means the world to us! This is a smaller than usual patch, the following changes have occured: 1. Numerous sound tweaks, and full 3D spatial audio has now been added to the game. 2. The lighting options have been changed to make the left-most option more noticable, ideally it should be nearly invisible against the background. Once again, we're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking your feedback and suggestions all under consideration! Thank you all again so much for your support, expect more patches in the coming days.

  • Yet another patch has just gone live! - 1.03 - 7 April 2020

    Hello once again! Thanks you all for your support, it means the world to us! The following numerous fixes have been added: 1. If you had placed the pieces of the puzzle in the right order early, and collected the last piece, the game wouldn't register it as a win. 2. Some shadows of broken model poses were appearing at various parts of the game. 3. A certain event wasn't firing properly, but is now consistent. 4. Some music wasn't playing during an important part of the game. 5. Input lag has been drastically reduced. Once again, we're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking it all under consideration! Thank you all again so much for your support, expect more updates as time goes on.

  • Another patch has just gone live! - 1.02 - 6 April 2020

    Hello again everyone! Thanks again for all your support, the reception continues to surprise us! We're watching reviews, forums, and social media closely and taking as much as we can into consideration! Today we have some quick fixes to a few nagging issues: There were still some clipping issues with the vent, usually not game breaking, but still a nuisance. These should all be resolved at this point. Loading between loops should have a smoother appearance to it now. The "Unlimited" option has been removed from the Options for the time being, as it was causing lag and not properly uncapping FPS. FPS options will now stick going in and out of the menu. Some lighting wasn't showing up correctly at certain points in the game, and that has now been fixed, but we'll leave the specifics of that for you to discover! Again, thank you all so much for your support! Expect further bug fixes and co…

  • A new patch has just gone live! - 1.01 - 5 April 2020

    Hello everyone! The reception so far has been amazing, thank you all for playing! After numerous reports from players, we've pinpointed a few major bugs that have now been patched out of the game: An issue where interactions stop working after interacting with the record is now resolved. You can no longer walk backwards through the loop door when after stepping through it. You can no longer clip through the ventilation shaft. You can no longer spawn or respawn outside of bounds. There are also a few improvements to gameplay and audio, but we'll leave that for you to discover on your own! We're watching Steam and streaming platforms and we hear you! Expect more big fixes and other changes in the near future.

Short description

We Went Back is a time-looping horror game in which you wake up in an abandoned space station utterly alone. The exit door is locked and you must find a way to escape what lurks within. Find clues, experience dynamically changing environments and confront terror in order to find a way out.

About this game

JOIN US ON DISCORD About the Game You wake up in an abandoned space station. Alone. GO. Who: You. Just you. All by yourself. What: You're trying to find a way out. When: Depends on who you ask. Where: An abandoned space station. Why: Be honest – do we ever know why? How: Find clues. Solve a puzzle. Get scared. Get out. We Went Back is roughly a 30-50 minute experience. Here's what we love about it: Dynamically Changing Environments You can experience multiple changes within the space station's environment. The devil is in the details. Escape Room Style Gameplay Love escape rooms? So do we! There are clues to find and a puzzle to solve. The environment holds the key. 70's Inspired Retro-Futuristic Art Style Everything is influenced by that old-school space aesthetic we all love, from each poster all the way down to the teensiest decal. There's a Rat We have a rat. No, you cannot pet him but he’s loved nonetheless.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

We Went Back's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

We Went Back's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records We Went Back at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
